Swine fever, Sardinia towards the total cancellation of the restrictions
Opening from Brussels, the red areas could disappear
Swine fever behind. Sardinia is traveling towards the definitive end of the embargo , after eleven years of a halt to exports.
The first, most significant breakthrough came last December 15, with the go-ahead that had in any case preserved some red areas within the island , where the restrictions continued to exist. "The objective", declared the president of the Region, Christian Solinas, "remains that of a Sardinia completely free from restrictions".
And now the total release seems close : at the Brussels summit, in the presence of the Ministry of Health and the director of the Sardinian experimental zooprophylactic institute, Giovanni Filippini, the EU commission opened to the remodulation: it will be submitted to the committee of the member states, which it will meet twice by the end of the year.
